First Challenge = Complete! Money Stop Motion Animation
The long awaited first challenge, my stop motion animation video is finally finished! Here’s a quick recap of the things I learned and wish I had known.
New software and techniques:
- Features on my new Canon 7D
- Studio lighting
- Final Cut Pro
- quick Lightroom editing tricks
Things I wish I had known before starting this challenge:
- Studio lighting
- Shooting techniques and tricks
- More studio lighting….
- A good tripod = a well worth investment (still on my “expensive to buy” list)
- The fact that I did not have to go through the trouble of withdrawing so much cash. My brother already had half as much just sitting in his room (which so happens to be adjacent to my room…)
- It helps to be in shape when bending forwards and backwards to shoot weird objects such as money. My hat goes off to all photographers out there!
Special thanks for their feedback, letting me borrow equipment and teaching me some Final Cut Pro tricks go out to Reece, Kevin, Gary, Lindsey, Andrew, Dan and George Mason Cadet Chris.
Feedback and comments are always encouraged!
